Adam 01/23/2025 This is my favorite musical! It surprised me they played the alternate ending! Big fan. See more Justin T @RT08580778 Mar 2 The sets and plants were amazing. It’s mostly really beautifully shot. The music was annoyingly catchy. The alternate ending would have been so much better. It started so well grabbing my attention and getting me dancing but there were some really boring bits. It feels like it would have been better as a stage show but still fun.

I have watched this countless times and it never gets old or loses any effectiveness; the blend of incredible practical effects and Howard Ashman’s witty storytelling creates a world that is uniquely immersive. From the Motown-inspired Greek chorus to the soulful hunger of Audrey II, every song is a banger, making it one of those rare films where you simply cannot pick a favorite track. It’s a campy, neon-soaked delight that continues to grow on you with every single viewing.

See more Bookies B @BookiesBeat Jan 26 Watched this several times growing up and adored Audrey II and the singing trio Crystal, Ronette and Chiffon; they really made the film. However, the weak plot and Ellen Greene's dodgy wig, horrendous singing and phoney "innocence" were always grating and off-putting. In the 1960 film, Audrey is a brunette with a "classy" feminine appearance and assertiveness. Curiously, in this they chose to make her a dumb blonde; it turns out Greene wanted her to look "angelic" and "innocent". The irony of that is she looks the exact opposite—old, cheap, and tacky—as though she ought to be playing Seymour's reformed streetwalker grandma. The stereotype of lower-class/poor women as naive and stupid is insulting when they cannot afford the luxury of innocence in the impoverished society they are forced to live in. When they say a bad actor (in this case, an actress) can ruin a film, this is what they mean. One star for Audrey II and the other for the girls. See more Maksim S @MaksimusMovies Jan 19 "Little Shop of Horrors" is a perfect blend of charm, chaos, and killer musical numbers—literally. It’s a rare film where every song lands, every joke hits, and even the man-eating plant has more personality than half of Hollywood. Smart, stylish, and endlessly rewatchable, it’s a five-star reminder that sometimes the best stories bloom from pure, delightful absurdity. See more Read all reviews
